Subject: Lizzie Horton
Author: No name [Edit]	Date Posted: 10:34:22 11/12/09 Thu What happened to her? She was Miss NC 2007 (I think? Maybe 2006?). I liked her at Miss A and my Miss State spoke highly of her. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

For some reason, I think she is performing in NYC. (NT) -- No name, 10:36:17 11/12/09 Thu Here is the address to Lizzie's blog. http://newsnovice.blogspot.com/ (NT) -- I competed with Lizzie! She is great!, 11:53:00 11/12/09 Thu Quite interesting blog. (NT) -- No name, 12:12:21 11/12/09 Thu Didn't she go to the Johns Hopkins Conservatory? I thought music was in her future. (NT) -- oh well, 12:46:17 11/12/09 Thu

Subject: Miss Iowa named public health ambassador
Author: No name [Edit]	Date Posted: 04:19:14 11/12/09 Thu Posted on Nov 11, 2009 by Cindy Hadish. As a youth, Anne Michael Langguth spent her allowance buying medical books and turned one of her dad’s old workshirts into a lab coat. As Miss Iowa and in her new partnership with the University Hygienic Laboratory, Langguth, 22, will promote science careers to Iowa youths who might have similar dreams. The Iowa City native was introduced today as the Coralville-based lab’s Environmental and Public Health Ambassador. Studies show in the next 11 years, more than 4,200 public health jobs are expected to be vacant in Iowa due to a shortage of skilled workers and another 250,000 vacancies are expected nationwide. Langguth will visit with students and science teachers to help fill that void. An aspiring Miss America might seem an odd choice to partner with a public health lab, but with Langguth, the choice made sense, said lab director Christopher Atchison. Atchison noted that Langguth graduated this year from Harvard University and was accepted into the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Langguth can draw attention to the looming work force shortages and raise awareness of the variety of careers in science, Atchison said. “Sometimes public health is a bit invisible,” he said, noting that it’s hard to demonstrate the prevention role served by the lab. Crowned shortly after graduation, Langguth will defer her entry into med school for one year to serve as Miss Iowa. Langguth said her career choice, which likely will involve public health policy, was influenced by positive role models and mentors. Her father, Brad Langguth, is a banker and mother, Nancy Langguth, is a teacher in the University of Iowa College of Education. Langguth said she will discuss her role as ambassador during the Miss America competition in January in Las Vegas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Good for her! (NT) -- No name, 08:19:37 11/12/09 Thu Yay for Miss IA! No matter how she does at MA, this young woman is truly stellar in all aspects. (NT) -- No name, 10:32:34 11/12/09 Thu I will be shocked if she isn't top 5.....would love to see her interview (NT) -- No name, 10:50:56 11/12/09 Thu Oh, me too! She has done really well at Jr. Miss and Sweetheart, so her interview must be really top notch! (NT) -- No name, 11:39:32 11/12/09 Thu

Author: No name [Edit]	Date Posted: 18:36:25 11/09/09 Mon The first post about this topic is getting too long. Post here instead. You can pick to stay in Vegas, move back to Atlantic City, or choose a new destination of your choice. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Orlando or Philadelphia (NT) -- No name, 18:44:53 11/09/09 Mon philadelphia?! why not just move it to compton. (NT) -- No name, 07:36:49 11/10/09 Tue Philadelphia would make a great focus city for Miss A. The National Constitution Center is a terrific venue, as well as the Kimmel Center. So much history, I say move Miss America to July 4, Independence day in Phila is like no other. A message to the MAO: think outside the box. (NT) -- No name, 08:45:33 11/10/09 Tue have you ever been to philadelphia? it's a rather nice city. sure, like every major city it has it's troubled areas. but center city and the surrounding areas are beautiful, well maintained, filled with history and tourist attractions and there is a booming arts industry. (NT) -- research before you speak, miss compton 2010., 12:39:47 11/10/09 Tue I've lived in Philly for many years now and I'd have to say, this place is full of things to look around: museums, parks, theaters, rivers, scenery, etc. The nightlife is amazing, it's a clean city (Center City, where the pageant would be held) and there is order around! (NT) -- Philly Ga-Ga, 12:56:53 11/10/09 Tue Someplace centeralized. Tired of having to travel hundreds of miles! (NT) -- No name, 18:59:38 11/09/09 Mon I liked the NOLA idea from earlier - great location could lend to assisting in the rebuild, pedestrian city for the most part, nice food, nice shopping, good history, easy airport access, nice hotels, good prices . (NT) -- No name, 19:14:14 11/09/09 Mon Such a bad location....disgusting, crime ridden, corrupt cess pool. (NT) -- No name, 13:12:22 11/11/09 Wed as opposed to what AC/Vegas yea right that is just not a legitimate gripe when you consider the past locations (NT) -- No name, 14:10:54 11/11/09 Wed Just like Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Fits the profile for the Miss America pageant. (NT) -- No name, 11:32:14 11/12/09 Thu AL and OK seem to support their pageants better than any other state. So I nominate the states - you choose the cities. (NT) -- No name, 20:37:51 11/09/09 Mon Yes...that sounds fair. Let's just throw the "home field advantage" to the already strong states! (NT) -- Not., 08:41:09 11/10/09 Tue OK, let's just have it in Laramie or Minot - but not sure that will help any. (NT) -- No name, 09:22:00 11/10/09 Tue Some decent shopping and restaurants in B'Ham, but hard to stay entertained for a week? -- No name, 12:37:56 11/10/09 Tue How do you know they support their states the most? There are other plenty of other states that have a real family feeling--try the New England states for example. The way things are going, you might end up in one of those states, but who the hell wants to travel to AL or OK? (NT) -- No name, 12:26:48 11/11/09 Wed San Antonio, TX (NT) -- fan, 21:35:04 11/09/09 Mon I do like the idea of thaveling around the country. That way, each state could have the opportunity to be de HOST! (NT) -- No name, 21:53:00 11/09/09 Mon sorry... traveling (NT) -- No name, 21:53:19 11/09/09 Mon I like traditions, so it doesn't really matter to me where it is as long as it stays in one place for a very long time. Atlantic City was great, but sometimes things need to change. If Las Vegas is a good deal for the MAO, then I vote to stay there. It's a good place for a January pageant. (NT) -- No name, 22:23:04 11/09/09 Mon I personally was spoiled by getting to make almost 20 driving trips to Atlantic City, so for that reason, I didn't totally embrace the move to Vegas. But yet I have enjoyed going tthere. Whatever happens, I just wish they move it back to September, even if it has to be in a hot climate somewhere. I say that because if it stays in January, one of these years there is going to be some sort of blizzard that is going to keep some of us from making the trip, and there will be some P O'd pageant fans when that happens. (NT) -- More concerned with time than place, 23:29:54 11/09/09 Mon A T L A N T I C C I T Y ! ! ! ! ! (NT) -- No name, 23:41:06 11/09/09 Mon AMEN! Move it to Sept or Oct at the very least. January is NOT a good time. Funds are short after the holidays, year-end for those of us in business world, etc. (NT) -- No name, 09:23:24 11/10/09 Tue It needs to be in Sep. Jan is not a good time for the pageant. (NT) -- No name, 12:56:42 11/10/09 Tue Atlantic City!!! (NT) -- nostalgic, 07:52:56 11/10/09 Tue Won't be successful anywhere but Atlantic City! (NT) -- Get out of Las Vegas, 09:19:42 11/10/09 Tue I really think if it moves they will have their audience back again. Atlantic City (NT) -- No name, 09:35:17 11/10/09 Tue I like the idea of a different big city every year too...kinda like Miss Universe in a way. (NT) -- No name, 12:52:31 11/10/09 Tue Surely you jest. (NT) -- No name, 12:56:05 11/10/09 Tue The idea of having it move around each year is just not feasible, folks. Yes, the MAO office staff presumably stays somewhat established, but there are local people that must be involved, such as with sponsors, meals, accommodations, etc. and those things have to be maintained on a year-round and year-to-year basis. If the pageant tried to move to a different location each year, it would be a logistical nightmare and would be just like starting over every year. Will never happen. (NT) -- Just not practical, 17:15:53 11/10/09 Tue Suggest St. Louis (NT) -- No name, 10:25:50 11/11/09 Wed St Louis is colder than hell in January and HOT in September. Not a good choice. However we do have the hotel rooms and the theatres. However, airlines have cut service to STL (NT) -- No name, 12:27:52 11/11/09 Wed To me, Miss America belongs to Atlantic City. It should go back there. But, Atlantic City officials need to show some interest in having it back there. (NT) -- No name, 10:48:36 11/11/09 Wed Atlantic City did not leave Miss America. Miss America left Atlantic City. The pageant and Atlantic City are known worldwide. It never should have been removed but MAO was bent on getting out and establishing a different marketing ploy. Sometimes tradition is the best marketing tool you can have. Too bad they didn't negotiate better with Atlantic City and the networks to make an American institution even stronger. It could have been done and if they want to save what's left that is exactly what they better do! (NT) -- Not Miss America without Atlantic City, 11:50:44 11/11/09 Wed What do you suggest that either MAO or Atlantic City Officials do at this point to get the pageant back where it belongs? (NT) -- No name, 16:24:58 11/11/09 Wed I think it should be were the winner is from. -- No name (:)), 12:43:37 11/11/09 Wed Santa Barbara, California would be nice! (NT) -- No name, 12:44:30 11/11/09 Wed God forbid North Dakota wins (NT) -- No name, 12:54:08 11/11/09 Wed (if it were to be held in the winners state) (NT) -- No name, 12:55:11 11/11/09 Wed I'm the original OP who asked this question, and after thinking it over I'm leaning toward Washington DC--what is more American than our nation's capital? Heck, maybe Michelle would have them over to the White House for tea while they're there! (NT) -- No name, 14:04:47 11/11/09 Wed I know everyone would like to think Miss A pageant could go wherever the fans want, but it really depends on the finances. Cities and venues bid on this program, it isn't chosen by popularity. Very few hotels want this prgram due to the large space it needs to occupy and the low percentage of rooms and food/beverage charges it has along with it. (NT) -- No name, 14:26:30 11/11/09 Wed Agree with ATLANTIC CITY, that's where it all started (NT) -- and that's where it should stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 14:33:50 11/11/09 Wed Yes, absolutely Atlantic City, and while we are at it, get back to basics and put beauty back into the criteria! Doesn't have to be the total but it should be judged. (NT) -- Bring back beauty!, 14:54:34 11/11/09 Wed If it went back to its home in Atlantic City at least we would HAVE THE RUNWAY AGAIN!!!!! (NT) -- No name, 16:16:31 11/11/09 Wed And filled seats! (NT) -- No name, 16:39:01 11/11/09 Wed Orlando - Have the Show Your Shoes Parade at Disney on Friday night. That would be an AWESOME place to go for a week each year. There is so much to do there. If you do not want to go toDisney, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Universal you could go do water related activities like boating, swimming and skiing. (NT) -- No name, 15:43:30 11/11/09 Wed When are you people who keep pushing Disney gonna realize that Disney owns ABC and therefore already dropped us like a hot plate! Disney wants NOTHING TO DO with miss America. Best idea, negotiate with FOX, get Seacrest to host, get Miss A doing somekind of regular weekly appearence on fox so she stays visable/relevant and let the publicty mongers at Fox have a field day with moving the pageant back to AC. However, b'walk hall is just too big anymore. But there are plenty of other venues in AC that will work. (Just avoid the Trump owned venues). (NT) -- No name, 16:31:24 11/11/09 Wed Even if they leave it in Las Vegas, they need to change venues. (NT) -- No name, 16:25:37 11/11/09 Wed Part 2 means don't post in the too-long original thread! KWIM! TIA! (NT) -- No name, 09:29:48 11/12/09 Thu Why not have it in the beaver state? (NT) -- No name, 10:35:00 11/12/09 Thu If they are going to leave it in Las Vegas, Art and the others need to get their asses out there too. (NT) -- No name, 11:31:30 11/12/09 Thu
